Overview: My first program that I will be following is the very trendy and now popular flexible dieting or better known as If It Fits Your Macros (IIFYM). I am working with my personal trainer to work through a personalized nutrition program to cut body fat. To track my progress I did an initial DEXA scan. This measures your lean muscle mass and fat tissue in several portions of your body. My body composition results showed I currently sit at 27.4% body fat. Detailed results can be found below.
Nutrition: my starting total calorie count and macros for the first week will be 1750 total calories and a split of 35% carbs/35% protein/ 30% fat. More on macros overall can be found at the link below:
I’m trying to utilize all the food I have available through work to meet these nutrition goals.
Workouts: I will be also starting a program where I heavy lift twice a week with my trainer (upper and lower body) and doing Barry’s Bootcamp three times a week. I go regularly now and will be doing Barry’s Arms and Abs double floor (no running) along with Barry’s Butt and Legs double floor and one full body day with running. I will walk to work (about 1.5 miles each way) to get my LISS in. I also plan on throwing in a couple Bodyrok classes to do an active recovery. It is also a goal of mine to become a Pilates instructor in the new year.
